ROTARY UNION 5000 SERIES

Product catalog summary

Operating Parameters
The document outlines the operating parameters for the Series 5000 Rotary Union, which can handle various media including water, steam, hot oil, and air. The pressure limits are specified as 750 PSI for water, 120 PSI for steam, 100 PSI for hot oil, and 300 PSI for air. Temperature limits are 300°F for water, 350°F for steam, and 395°F for hot oil. The speed ratings are 1,000 RPM for NPT threads and 3,600 RPM for MT threads.

Material and Configuration
The Series 5000 is constructed from 300-grade stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance. It is available in mono flow and dual flow configurations, with various thread options including NPT, BSP, BSPP, and metric threads.

Features & Benefits
Key features include corrosion resistance, long service life due to precision bearings, and a balanced mechanical seal design. The dual flow option is available with an additional elbow. The replaceable cartridge design facilitates easy repairs, reducing maintenance costs. Multiple seal design options are available for different applications, including standard, T series for dirty media, and ASM series for abrasive applications.

Seal Design Options
- 5000 Series Standard: Carbon graphite seal ring against a ceramic coated steel seal.
- 5000 T Series: Carbon graphite seal ring against a tungsten carbide face ring for longer wear life.
- 5000 ASM Series: Tungsten carbide face ring against a siliconized graphite seal ring for abrasive applications.

Performance Charts
The document includes performance charts illustrating the relationship between pressure (PSI) and rotational speed (RPM) for various thread sizes ranging from 1/4" to 2". These charts help in understanding the operational limits and efficiency of the rotary union under different conditions.

Thread and Model References
Detailed tables provide references for different thread sizes and configurations, including right-hand and left-hand BSP threads, as well as flange options. Each configuration is associated with specific model numbers for easy identification and ordering.
